Question Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 6:58 pm
Ok, here it goes. My ex boyfriend was my best friend. He didnt really act like my boyfriend when we were going out and i didnt really have a problem with it, or i just didnt say anything about it... well, he saw he was being a huge jerk, and heard it from a lot of people... and i guess he didnt want to deal with all the drama because he is not use to it. Well, when we were going out, he would skateboard and sometimes ignore me and stuff... We ended it. But we were best friends, and its definately not the same. I barely ever see him now and i hate to say it, but i still really like him, alot. I dont know what to do... I've been playing it cool, making it appear like nothing is wrong... but i can tell that i still like him. Im still not use to not having him as a bf, like i still search for him in the halls and i hate it. What should i do? And.. i really want to.. atleast, be friends with him, atleast.
Additional info, added Wednesday January 31 2007, 7:13 pm: By the way, we agreed to stay friends, or go back to being best friends... it just isnt happening, like hes not putting any effort into our friendship and he doesnt really care. Although, he made it clear he wanted to be friends, so that is why im so confused.... Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

Tell him you still wanna be friends, but also tell him that he's not making an effort. And think about it, if he isn't making an effort, why should you? If you're playing it off now, he probably thinks you don't wanna be friends so if you act like you don't care, he might actually think you don't. So he started not to care either. Let him know you still care & see where things go from there.
